Effectiveness and treatment adherence to artemether-lumefantrine colour coded unit dosed blister-packs versus standard blister-packs in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Ugandan children: a randomised controlled equivalence trial

This poster presented at the 63rd annual American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene on 3-6 November 2014, shows the results of a study that identified that risk of treatment failure (parasitological and clinical failure) and treatment adherence was not different between children who receive colour coded unit dosed blister-packs to those who receive standard packs. It also shows that standard blister-packs could serve as alternatives to colour coded unit dosed blister-packs in management of uncomplicated malaria without compromising effectiveness and adherence in Uganda.
